On my Nexus, Froyo never displays a "H" when I am connected at full speed it always just shows 3g.

Try speedtest.net or something to check.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Installing ubuntu into VMware so i can get this working for you guys :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
not read the rest of the thread yet so this was probably ansered..... this will be flash lite and not full flash 10.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
Thanks for your info dk ! lazy to try then..anyway.. looking forward Next release..hopefully a fully functional froyo rom .. thx to Villain Team.. cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
well.... last I looked fusion had loads of bugs, bugs that do not exist in this rom

the dev might have fixed them now, but certainly not before we were working on this rom.

Our rom has fully working apps2sd on both old and new method, OCing (although not working 100%) is working better than any other hero froyo rom I have tried.

Battery life is great, speed is better than linpack suggests and will only get better.

You need anything else?

You could always do a check on the two roms and you will soon see these are different.

Full credit has been given in post 1 for things we used to make this rom. Do not give out false allegations without checking first.

And for those that say the nightly builds are the same, nightly builds were just built on CM, every froyo rom on hero is currently based on CM in some form.... so that is a dead argument from the beginning.

It just angers me, some of us (most more than me) have spent a hell of a lot of time the last 3 days getting this rom to a release standard just for a few of you to complain. if you don't like the rom don't use it, you don't need to make up lies and false allegations just to make yourself feel big, its not needed.

I am so glad you people were not around for early 2.1 days on hero otherwise every rom would be "a copy" of another.... its the same fecking source!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
more info. rebooted phone (without rotation wipe yet because it didn't boot into recovery...). tried RT1, worked for about 20 seconds perfectly, then suddenly car got stuck in permanent left turn.

is this the compass workaround screwing things up maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
You could try to reverse the compass hack.

go to /system/bin

mv akmd akmd-sh

mv akmd.bin akmd

To revert back

in /system/bin

mv akmd akmd.bin

mv akmd-sh akmd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Hmm. It would appear Raging Thunder doesn't like the akmd workaround. Researching at the moment, but to quickly "fix", do this:

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd.script

adb shell mv /system/bin/akmd.bin /system/bin/akmd

adb shell ps | grep akmd

That should show you something like:

compass 1429 1 728 288 c0204128 afd0dcec S /system/bin/akmd.bin

in this case you then type:

adb shell kill 1429

(the first number is the process id).

Just tested this and Raging Thunder suddenly sprang into life.

Yes it is, dammit. Looks like I need to keep looking for an alternative fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool, will try that.

also google sky map is borked for same reason (it was the closest thing to a productivity (read: important) app I could think of after finding the RT issue LoL).

trying to legitimize my bug :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
Hey guys :)

Thanks for a great Rom

This is the first ever ROM I flashed on my Hero and it has worked really well.

Going to update to 1.1.1, will report back with my first impressions.

Just to say though that in the 1.0.0 Release when my phone had just started up i pressed the home key and clicked launcher pro ,however instead of showing me my homescreen it showed a mishmash of all screens in the top corner and stayed like that till reboot. Just thought I'd let you guys know. Will be back after i flash 1.1.1 onto my Hero.

Ciao

;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
BRILLIANT!

Okay just flashed using the updated ROM. Took less than ten minutes.

I have to sy guys I am thoroughly impressed. The Rom is super fast. Google synced all contacts and apps.

I am very happy indeed. Everything thus far seems to work as you have said. Keep this up and get the camera fixed and i can foresee a small donation coming to your good selves :)

Thank you!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I'll send a case of beer to the dev who solves the camera preview issue with a working (useful quality) camera and video recording solution. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
+1 my good man
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Alfahane:
+1 on the beer idea.

I must say I only registered here to be able to send my gratitude to the guys behind this rom. You are my heroes. I effin love you!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
Same dude i was so impressed by the rom that i had to register and say.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tempo10:
Hi, thanks for the rom anyways.

For the fix on akmd, according my own experience, the akmd file is related to accelerometer stuff, which will generate the magnitude data by system on bootup in order to keep the accelerometer working, and it's not identical for different handset.

I still haven't downloaded the new 1.1.1 update to figure how's the recent fix for akmd. But patching the akmd files by pushing a modified akmd files generated on another HERO will make the accelerometers go weird.

Try to make a script to let users edit their own akmd, just my 2cents~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itscro:
I've used 5 or 6 different AOSP roms (both Eclair and Froyo) and none of them have had a headphone indication icon. I use my phone for Spotify for at least a couple of hours a day so it's something I noticed pretty swiftly, I guess it's just a 'feature' of AOSP. Would be nice if someone could sort one out though. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Loving this Villain guys, thanks for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sunilchand:
Brilliant. Much smoother than 1.1.0, you guys are good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TimD123:
akmd

Just a heads up - the akmd mod also affects a program I use called Screebl which keeps the screen alive when the phone is at certain angles.

I had to disable the mod to get Screebl to work again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Yeah it's not an ideal fix. Sorry about that folks, back to the drawing board...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mawela:
No big issues, job well done.

I don't see myself going back to 2.1 at this stage, Job well done. I downloaded 1.0 (android 2.2) before and reverted back to 2.1 right away but not with this new 1.1 (android 2.2) version.

1. I can Tether with no issues and call quality is brilliant.

2. Camera story I that can wait.

3. I will be testing Navigation soon; I am presently in South Africa. I know previously with 2.1 I had to download Bret Navigation to enable voice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
I've just pushed an OTA update for 1.1.1 that undoes the akmd "fix" for those having problems.

Please be advised that this means you might fall victim to the akmd running into a loop and using 100% CPU. In this case you'll need to:

adb shell ps | grep akmd

kill <pid> where <pid> should be replaced with the first number in the output.

We're researching other methods to get the akmd compass/gps/accelerometer daemon under control.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
This is real deal...

Im impressed...Thanks Villain team... good job. Appreciate that. :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Glad you like it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
My Hero never been smooth as now in past 3 month... :) ...so...let see how is the battery life now...

for the camera issue. i can live with that... once again..thanks for the great rom..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Any chance of FLAC support?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seshmaru:
Just get the FLAC player app :l
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Does not really look very appealing, I'd rather use the in-built player to play FLAC. The other CM6 ports have it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
How'd you get the HTC Clock widget to work in vanilla android?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Playing a FLAC on my Hero with the default music app right now...

That be Fancy Widget that be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah, that's Fancy Widget. It's included in the ROM, and is a free app on the market. Grab it before it disappears, as HTC have launched a claim against the dev.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
It really does look exactly like HTC's widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Probably explains why HTC are losing their **** over it and trying to get it pulled from the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] capitellum:
Very good ROM but still waiting for camera bug fixed. I didn't appreciate in Camera Magic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
changelog?

I am on 1.0 currently, nice work, but what are changes in 111?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Any idea how to get ADB to work? It's not detecting my device.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm. There is a changelog on the villainrom site, as always.

Here we go again... Sorry to people who've read this millions of times already.

As you are on an old version, you need to combine the 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 changelogs together :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
One common mistake is forgetting to enable USB debugging on your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Being a Linux user I'm not sure how far this will get you, as adb just works for me, always, but try a reinstall of HTC Sync as that includes drivers for the phone iirc if what the guy above me just said doesn't apply.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MacaronyMax:
LiveWallpapers ??? A2DP ??? :D :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
wtf is A2DP? As for Livewallpapers, as always only a few work on the Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
There is now an OTA update for 1.1.1 that provides a working (so far as we have tested) akmd that fixes the CPU lock and doesn't die when trying to play games.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Well, debugging is enabled. But i can't see my device. Gonna try to reinstall drivers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
By doing the OTA update I bricked my phone.

Got a loop:

Finding update package...

Opening update package..

and so on...:mad:

Any idea how I can get back into the bootload mode:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
Speech isn't working

I have tried the versions 1.0.0 and now on the 1.1.1 and it's working great except for the speech, it doesn't seem to work for me in this new version, though it was working in the version 1... Everything that I start that has the speech ability will start having the loading icon and then goes back to the main menu...

Am I the only one with this problem? I've wipe all and reinstall even twice but still with same problem...

Please help if possible, else I might go back to 1.0.0 :confused:

Thanks for the great job, this ROM is awesome, seriously
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummm. You've not bricked it, as bricked is when it's off and won't turn on.

Can you explain what's going on please. Is it sitting there "copying files" or something? If so, and the menu above says "Reboot now", just press the trackball to reboot. :)

Otherwise, can you clarify your issue and we can sort it out. I presume you are using AmonRA recovery, which is the only supported recovery image?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Uh what..

I applied this on my phone before pushing it out. Worked fine.

Your phone is not bricked. It would help if you gave the full output of the update rather than the first two lines of the output.

You should see something along the lines of:

Finding update package...

Verifying update package..

Opening update package..

Deleting files..

Deleting files..

Copying files..

And the recovery menu should appear, at which point you select Reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Yes, I use Amon RA v1.6.2a.

After having done the OTA the phone tries to reboot:

Build : RA-herp-v1.62a

Finding update pachage...

Opening update package...

The display then gets dakr for a second and the same loop repeats endlessly.

Removing the battery and pressing home and on buttons simultaneosely results in the same loop.

Removing the battery and pressing back and on buttons: same endless loop.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jimbob0i0:
Same here probably related to the change to the HTC_ime_mod keyboard rather than the stock one maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
adb run well here.. fact is i never encountered error with adb at all... from 1.5 to 2.2 rom..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange. I've checked the update, and it looks OK to me, so I put this down to some freak coincidence. Usually, to fix this kind of thing, I adb shell into the phone, and delete the file /cache/recovery/command via the shell. That should stop it trying to flash the update.

Let me know how that goes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
OTA update for 1.1.1 pushed that fixes Voice search/dial.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jimbob0i0:
To confirm the update ota went fine here for akmd and voice recognition is also working. It is actually working to dictate this post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Oh I forgot to add in the 1.1.1 release notes. I lifted power control from Cyanogenmod since they had already got the data apn switching working properly, so thanks to them for that. Credit where it's due, etc etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
confirmed OTA works fine on my hero..just did it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Problem was solved by removing SD- and SIM-cards. Possibly pure coincindence.

Anyhow: thank's for replying and trying to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No worries. That has happened to one of the guys before. No idea what causes it, and it always goes away after a bit. Just goes to remind everyone to be careful and whatnot.

For the record, deleting the file I mentioned from cache using adb will stop recovery from trying to install the OTA update, which will stop any loop, thus giving you time to sit and think what commands to run.

But this is certainly a better method. Glad to be of assistance. Hope the next OTA you got for voice search works OK :)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
1) I can't seem to call any long distance numbers, so any numbers that starts with +1 is not working, for ex.: 1-800-123-4567 will automatically give me a not found number or whatever from my Telus cell phone carrier. Even my own number with 1 in front won't work. Any clue on how to fix this?

2) Speech is still not working on 1.1.1

3) Rotate just hang in 1 position sometimes and I have to reboot to correct this issue
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Sounds like you need both OTA updates, both mentioned in this thread. Might I suggest you read the thread before posting.

As for dialing, international dialing works fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
they dont read huh? is the trends now ? asking asking & asking... :confused::confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
I read this thread from the complete beginning and everyday, though I seem to have misunderstood the OTA thing, I thought it was only for upgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1

My mistake since I'm new to the ROM flashing...sorry about that and thanks for the help, just did both OTA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
Both updates went well, thanks guys :)

As always, great work, most appreciated :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
So for both 2) and 3) I did both OTAs like suggested and for the international call, I just found out that I have to "+1" in the front, not just "1"... that's weird, I hope that those 1-800 aren't changing into a paying international call because of the +1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
I have an issue with the OTA which I haven't found in the thread yet. It founds the update, downloads it and restarts into recovery. But there:

Any idea? Is my recovery too old or wrong or ...

thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveh2:
Any chance of adding mobile data on/off to the power menu or is that controlled by the launcher?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
For me it is there. Might be the Launcher PRO however....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
'Voice mail' notification icon remains after both assigning a number and listening to the message. No 'clear' option. Reboot required to remove. A known AOSP quirk?

Also, the incall onscreen buttons along the bottom don't seem to work.

Version: FroydVillain-1.1.1

Update: I still had a remaining 'new' voicemail. Probably the cause.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
The OTA update doesn't seem to be installed at my phone.

I've downloaded it via the OTA updater, and gave permission to reboot my phone and install the update.

After "Copying files..." the menu appears and I'm able to reboot. But after that, the update keeps appearing in the update menu.

I had the same with Villain 12 but never really cared about it back then. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Limitation of the OTA package. Don't worry about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Alright, so the update is installed after that? Nice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andy:
This is a great ROM, having tried nearly every ROM for the Hero this is the best 2.2 I've used. Very snappy, every feature I need works. Great work, Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Yeah, if the update doesn't increase the version number, the OTA updater can't see if it's installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ldawidss:
hmm, up until now I thought that battery life is really good,

until I put some music on and started using phone as mp3 player. I was suprised to notice that after about 30mins of music and screen off for most of the time it ate something like a half of my battery (that was on ver 1.0.0 ) so I installed 1.1.1 and testing now. It might be my battery showing wrong.

Anyone had any observation about that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
I am also on Telus and was having the same problem. There is an easy fix for it. I have provided a link and just follow the instructions that come right after step 113.

http://b2basiks.com/?p=701

Jim
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Calibrate your battery. Each time you flash a ROM the battery stats get blown to hell. If you don't charge the phone while switched off semi regularly or at all, you never hit 100% charge on the battery either.

There are details on the VR website just do a search for battery calibration or look at my post history, I made a post on calibration.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Holy christ @ that guide. Lol awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Again, great job on the rom!!!!!!!

I updated and everything went fine, but my voice input still doesn't work.

It is a nice add on and I have tried many different solutions without success.

When I select the mic on the keyboard, the mic screen comes up with a big red line across it?

Anyone else get it to work?

thanks

Jim
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ldawidss:
I understand what you mean, but then again, no matter if the battery is calibrated or not, when the screen is off and the overclock widget set to 200mhz on screen off , music shouldn't take as much battery.

Nevertheless I will find out with the calibration and report back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Right, but the phone OS is telling you how much battery is remaining. Without calibration, it is probably dead wrong to the point of flat out lying. However, make sure you have the akmd OTA update applied.

There's an OTA update that fixes voice search/dialer. Voice input also works on the stock keyboard but not on the HTC IME mod keyboard (due to lack of HTC Sense framework and my laziness in porting the hi-res Froyo one to the Hero).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Thanks for the quick reply......

I have used the OTA update and it didn't fix the voice search/dialer issue.

I can use the voice dialer no problem. Voice search tries to open but fails and then closes on its own.

I also cannot use the voice input on the keyboard? It isn't a make or break issue (but it is the option I was hoping for). If it is working for other and I can't figure it out I will re flash as maybe one of my attempts to fix made it so the update didn't work!

Thanks

Jim
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Hmm that's odd, you're the first one (so far) that the update hasn't fixed voice input for.

If a wipe/reflash and reapply of the OTA doesn't fix it let me know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Like I said, I have been playing with it most of the day trying to get it to work before I did the update. (it has also taken me a long time to read through all the threads looking for a fix, lol)

It is most likely something I have done to make it worse. I will try the wipe/reflash and let you know how I make out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
from personal experience, you very likely changed the privs on those files when you played with it earlier which means it can't be fixed until you either reflash or, much more easily, just go into terminal, enter su (and accept root privs if asked), go to where those files are (cd /system/app or whatever), and chmod 777 filename.apk or whatever (777 gives all privs to everyone, but it's safe enough on your phone to do that. I don't know what minimum privs you need, but 777 will solve the issue.

this is linux - it's really helpful to know some linux in this case (which is what I just taught ya).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winstoncbull:
I have the same thing exactly. I have wiped, flashed and updated several times trying to get the voice search and keyboard voice input to work but nothing. Same symbol with the red line from the keyboard and voice search tries to open and closes.

Same thing with Google Navigation, voice search tries to open and then closes on it's own.

Any help would be appreciated and this ROM kicks ass BTW. Thanks for all the work you guys put into it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
Thanks, you made my day...

This ROM is so good, bugs are slowly getting all fixed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
That OTA update allows me to use voice input with the keyboard. I am loving this rom now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
Well it seems that you also did not read the part that these were previously fixed through OTA. I previously made the same mistake... 2 OTA are available which one is fixing your issue, run the VillainROM Updater and you'll see them
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winstoncbull:
Excellent! Thank you sir. I'm new to the whole Villain scene and didn't see that update.

installed, booted and everything works great! Thanks folks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ramon2045:
Very Fast...

Does not support Persian Or Arabic Language?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hilwood:
any suitable htc_cime can use in this rom? i try the 2.1 htc_cime and it's not working....

sorry for my poor english:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RyanEmm:
I can't answer your question, however your English is very good, no need to apologise.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stormfury_2:
I just got exactly the same issue running Amon RA 1.6.2 recovery image - can we flash manually??
